What to Know

Critic Consensus

The new offering is a full-size, semi-auto, rimfire polymer pistol that Taurus upgraded with a simple slide cut. This slide cut is where it all starts. Cutting a good majority of the slide away from the barrel allowed Taurus to create one of the ultimate red dot mounting systems on the market that I have seen. The red dot mounts directly to the barrel using a fixed mount plus two reversible and interchangeable plates... Read critic reviews...

Taurus TX22 Description

The Taurus TX-22 is one of the best handguns ever made chambered for the .22 LR. You can hold it as if its a full-size self-defense pistol that feels really good in the hands. For a budget piece, it has an amazing trigger, adjustable rear and front sights, and a lot of other cool features. But the best thing about it which gun snobs don't even bother to look at is the included magazines and the number of rounds each one can hold: 16.Granted, the TX-22 is not the only .22 LR-chambered pistol with a magazine that holds these many rounds -- KelTec released their new P17 just last year and it has a magazine capacity of 16 rounds as well. But if I'm being honest, it's nowhere near as aesthetically pleasing and its barrel is a little shorter. I would choose the Taurus TX-22 over it any day of the week.A big problem when it comes to designing a double-stack magazine for any handgun chambered in a rimmed cartridge is, well, the rim of the cartridge. Typically, rimmed cartridges cannot just be stacked straight up vertically over each other like rimless cartridges. The rims just butt up to one another, pushing each other so that all of them rest in the magazine at an angle. Taurus was able to design a beautiful working magazine despite this.The TX-22s magazine has a strong spring that pushes the follower upward from the front while several guides within the walls ensure the cartridges are pushed upward. There's a pair of circular round tabs on the magazine, one on each side. These tabs can be used to move the follower downward.You can just pinch them together and pull them down and the follower will move along with them. However, I would advise against using those tabs that way because the spring makes it impossible to hold on to those tabs once you have the magazine loaded with 13 or 14 rounds. I would recommend to just use the tool that comes with the TX-22 to load the magazines faster.If you only have the two magazines that came with your TX-22 and you want more of them, check out the best prices GunCritic could find below:
